1 Introduction For hydrocarbons to be used as an energy source, they need to be extracted from underground, all other non-energy containing products separated from them, and the different types of hydrocarbons further separated from one another. These processes occur at different locations in the oil and gas industry network operating between the underground wells where the hydrocarbons are found and the locations where they are used as fuels, for example, in an automobile. 1 Paths of Conventional Crude Oils from Well to Wheel.
